Ajai Raj is a singer-songwriter whose well-honed lyrical sensibility, haunting voice, and spare arrangements have earned his songs comparisons with those of great songwriters Nick Cave, Johnny Cash, and Tom Waits, all of whom Ajai counts among his influences, as well as less obvious ones like Steely Dan. For more information, including other work, videos, an email list for shows and more, check out Ajai's website: theajairajexperience.com.

Chicago-born former New Yorker living in Delaware. I report science stories at WDDE 91.1FM, Delaware Public Media, which means I spend a lot of time thinking about sea level rise, robots and astrophysics. I like offbeat movies, modern dance and replaying animal videos on the Internet.
